Chordelia: Seventh Heaven

Publisher's Description

Ready to take your chord skills to the next level?

Whether you're a song writer, guitar player, jazz musician, or any other kind of music lover, Chordelia: Seventh Heaven will give you the vital skills you need to use and recognize advanced 'Seventh Chords'.

Seventh Chords can add spice and sophistication to music - but all the different kinds can be confusing, and it can be hard to tell them apart in context. Most musicians never get past this stage, and limit their harmony skills by never moving beyond the core triads - or perhaps just learning the dominant seventh chord.

Chordelia: Seventh Heaven is the first dedicated tutor for seventh chords in the App Store and will teach you to hear all the important types of seventh chord easily and reliably - whether they're played one note at a time or all together, and whichever inversion of the chord is used.

A strong appreciation of seventh chords is particularly important for jazz musicians, but will increase the versatility and creativity of any musician. They can help you:

★ Compose more innovative chord progressions

★ Add interest to the basic major/minor chords of an existing song

★ Introduce new flavors to your sound by knowing the effect different seventh notes can bring

★ Transcribe and improvise over jazz standards

★ Jam more easily with other players when they go beyond simple triads - or impress them when you do!

Chordelia: Seventh Heaven uses the same approach as our previous best-selling apps, RelativePitch and Chordelia: Triad Tutor, which thousands of musicians have already been using to improve their ears and understanding of music. The app includes:

✓ Background material on the theory of seventh chords and why each type sounds the way it does.

✓ Explanations and illustrations of each chord type, to help you connect the theory with the sound and build your understanding.

✓ High quality piano sound samples and spoken chord labels so you can train just by listening.

If you've ever struggled to tell a dominant from a major 7th, wondered what "a minor 7th flat 5" means, or wanted to spice up your own compositions, Chordelia: Seventh Heaven will open your ears to all the subtleties and power seventh chords can provide.
